My son is turning three pretty soon.... We wanna get him a v tech interactiv game, so he can plug it to the tv, but I am not sure, it vtech is for his age.....
Can somebody tell me, what interactive toys would be great for his age group?
Answer
Don't be fooled into wasting your money on a heavily advertised "learning" game. Go to target.com and see what they recommend for a 3 year old ... and skip over any computer junk. A 3 year old needs building blocks, and other things that he can hold and touch and learn from .. and a lot of hugs and love. Good Luck ! :)

Toys for 3 month year old twin boys?
Amber C
My twin boys are almost 3 months and are becoming more active. Their nursery is a jungle theme so they love looking at the animals and patterns in their crib. They also enjoy looking at their mobile. I want to get them some toys. I got a play mat and they enjoy that (they are beginning to like it more and more everyday...its amazing!) I wanted to know what else I can get for them. Like I said they like looking at stuff, but I want something more interactive also, and something that will keep their attention for awhile, so I can get a little break.
Thanks

I'll bet you need a little break!... My son became INSATIABLY curious at this age and got bored very easily. We put him in a bouncinette (kind of bouncing bed?) with a frame placed around it and noisy, colourful stuff hung from it, within his reach. He rocked, kicked, grabbed and rattled like mad!
Here's a picture of a bouncinette: http://www.babiesgalore.com.au/view_product_new.php?productid=285&returnUrl2=%2Fshow_product_search.php%3Fsearchtype%3Dcategory%26categoryid%3D40
The KEY thing is the frame, as it gives the baby access to the toy, but when he/she drops it, it simple hangs within reach so it can be grabbed again. Toys that are not attached to anything cause frustration as the baby inevitably drops them and then can't get them back. The other thing about the frame was that it was made of plastic-covered metal with a bit of give in it, so when my son pulled on the toys, the frame bent, it didn't break.
I searched high and low for a link to a similar frame but couldn't find one, sorry.
By the way, babies and toddlers DON'T need expensive, elbaorate toys: they get the most joy out of objects of various shapes that they can explore with their hands and their mouths, and bang together making a frightful din!
My son, as soon as he could crawl, made his way each morning to the kitchen cupboards and pulled out everything. He loved plastic jar lids [not too small of course], pot lids, and any old thing that was small and light enough for him to grab.
He wasn't remotely interested in teddy bears or any of those cute things that adults really like.
